not exciting: having to write all the content being displayed, or at least enough for now to make shipping the feature worthwhile.

@jerzone i keep an old magnetic dashboard phone-mount on my desk so i can chuck all the tiny screws at it while i work on projects. if i drop something i can usually sweep that around near the floor and find it eventually. not sure about sproinging things though, that’s gonna increase the target area.

@annika i’ve learned a few sh script tricks by looking at installers for stuff like Astro.

@revmem right? like two 8-10 minute spats that dropped over an inch here. wild.

@revmem the best option for me is probably cancel all the subscriptions and pay for exactly the things i want to watch?
mike susz
@mikesusz
i hate to say, but i kinda want cable and a DVR again. i have so many subscriptions right now, but any time i have an idea to watch a specific thing, it’s not available anywhere and i have to pay for it.

@gruber my favorite is when it’s styled blue text with an underline decoration but not an actual link to anything

@threetonesun you think that’s more or less expensive than a live goose? 🤔

@jdarnold i’m the guy who keeps a little bike multi-tool in my backpack so i can adjust and tighten all the monitor arms :)

@jdarnold monitors misaligned. please fix.

@marcamos me, checking that box, when i know that the website won’t.

@revmem ooh, i haven't had those. my fave in this area (er, new england, probably) is bagel alley in nashua

@sarajw too bad it doesn’t help you to know both exactly where you are and exactly how fast you’re moving

@annika i usually spend my first half hour looking for an RJ45 for my travel router and then i take a nap. sometimes the tvs let you HDMI into them so that’s nice.

i just finished reading The Murderbot Diaries entire series and i didn’t find out until i was on book 3 or 4 that Apple was making TV out of it and now i’m … what’s the word for being both excited and mad?

@atpfm I thought that they were holding off on releasing nice colors on macs until they have an update where the specifications are lackluster.

@mikesusz
@atpfm has @siracusa already weighed in on this? https://www.wired.com/story/sony-rgb-led-tv/

@m750 i'm intrigued by new cards but when i built my current machine, i knew that any upgrade would involve a LOT of overhead (custom-loop watercooled) so ... yeah i'm gonna enjoy this one for a while. :) lol

@mikesusz
@fred i especially like the ones that berate me and then i look at the Network tab and they tried to load like 30+ tracking scripts

@mikesusz
@jerzone oh wow that’s awesome. i’m guessing the outdoor component is kinda what we use now for radiant-floor heat, except painted black (and moving heat in the opposite direction)
mike susz
@mikesusz
@jerzone i've been intrigued by these systems for a while. ideally i'd like to replace my direct-fired boiler DHW with a dual-coil indirect DHW tank, one coil being fed by the boiler and another by a heat pump (basically want to turn my AC waste heat into hot water in the summer).
mike susz
@mikesusz
@jerzone not a plumber but those look like union fittings to me. so the nut should turn (seal made between flat mating surfaces) but you also seem to have much bi-metal corrosion maybe.

@mikesusz
@marcamos i am drawn to do the same, except i'm currently employed by a Consulting organization that ... has different priorities.

@mikesusz
i really used to believe in "Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick 2" but now i'm thinking if you pick "Fast" that's all you get. maybe.

@atpfm when @siracusa was talking about many people in one place with mobile devices i instantly thought about PAX! my kids and i make an offline plan to meet up at specific places and times because we can never count on any data going through (or our batteries lasting long while attempting to send/receive with that congestion)
mike susz
@mikesusz
@jerzone thank you for the picture! i know a couple folks at work who are company-history buffs, i'll share if that's okay.

@mikesusz
@revmem a long time ago i had a roommate who was an electrical engineering major, i asked him what the difference was and he said "A is for telco, B is for data" so i never really questioned it since. but i doubt the throughput would be affected much anymore.

@film_girl seems like Apple is readying themselves to pay a tariff? if the tariff goes through and applies to them, Apple might say “we’re not raising the price!” look like heroes. and if it doesn’t go through or they are (get themselves) excluded from it, Apple gets to pocket the extra cash.
mike susz
@mikesusz
@jerzone yeah not sure how that happened unless i tweaked the power plug sideways and something touched that shouldn’t have. was bound to happen sooner or later. i’ve got a new display screen coming that will also report over wifi, so i won’t need a wired module anymore. and i’ll have a 2nd display to put in another location, so that’s cool.
mike susz
@mikesusz
@jerzone mystery was solved quickly and new parts ordered! lol. not sure exactly what this is but it’s thoroughly cooked.

mike susz
@mikesusz
@jerzone interesting - i went to the ObserverIP and flipped it over so i could give you the model name, and now it’s not receiving or reporting. lol. oops. another electronics project!
